State v. Skok
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of larceny in the first degree and conspiracy to commit larceny in the first degree. The convictions were based in part on evidence that included warrantless recordings of telephone conversations between Defendant and Jacqueline Becker, which were recorded without Defendant’s consent but with the consent of Becker. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions, holding (1) recording a telephone conversation with the consent of one party to that conversation does not violate the prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures under the Connecticut Constitution; and (2) the trial court’s failure to conduct an independent inquiry regarding Defendant’s competence to stand trial was not improper.
